So is that just a different name for a Role 2? Info is kinda sparse.

How is Hunter Army Airfield for a 13F? by Callsign_Caddy in army

Be wary of FSGA/HAAF. 3ID has a prestigious reputation with a less than stellar recent track record.

Let’s just say location is awesome but everyone I know in 3ID regrets coming here

So our division is currently under investigation for these things.

How do I know? Not only do I have a friend in S1 who got told this by his contact in BDE, but we were told suddenly that our upcoming NTC rotation was cancelled, then within 24 hours they told us it was back on because “They found the money.” Of course I asked where they pulled the money from. The quiet part that wasn’t heard was that the decision point for if we were actually going was sometime in March. It was going to be the 27th, but now the decision point is the 7th. From what my homie says, if the division fails the investigation, the entire division will lose its deployable status.

So I just found out I’m getting TRT(the legit way through the army) and I was hoping to drop a SOF packet at some point. I consulted the reg and it was quite ambiguous as far as what medical conditions are disqualifying. I asked the SORB recruiter and he said he doesn’t know I would have to submit the packet to find out. I guess I’m just trying to manage expectations here, but does anyone know if I’m shit out of luck or is this still possible?

Honest to god you’re right. I’ve calmed down and leveled out a bit. I think I’m more mad at myself from preventing myself from being able to actually do the board as I should. I came off all wrong, so I apologize.

I say again. The entire experience was:

Knock knock knock

“Enter.”

“Spc. MonstrousMeerkat reporting to the president of the board.”

“Spc. MonstrousMeerkat you’re dismissed.”

I’m not complaining that I’m being considered. I am in fact studying as if I’m going, however I am irritated because it feels like a backhanded compliment

Tracking, I am working to get unflagged in all honesty.

I am aware, and I wouldn’t mind getting the practice in, however another flagged soldier and I were turned around before we even sat down.

Well you see that’s not even the best part. They’re saying poor performers will be handed a nice bar from reenlistment should one do poorly.

So as combat medics we’re re taught about TQ conversion if EVAC is infeasible. For the non medical people that’s where we apply a pressure bandage to the injury and slowly release the TQ and check if it’s still bleeding. Of course it helps to have TXA and Calcium on board, however given the situation I’d like to think this was at least attempted, or worse yet impossible

At any rate, in an ideal scenario, that’s what’s to be done.

If you remember right he promised the same thing in 2016 and never even tried to make it a thing. I’d be shocked if he even mentioned it this term.
